Rapper Nicki Minaj took to Instagram on November 15, 2024, to announce that her new single with Juice WRLD and Halsey called Insecure from All Girls Are the Same 2 was streaming. In a previous Instagram post announcing details of the single's release, Minaj called it a "brand new song."
Netizens were quick to express their opinions on Insecure and took to X (formerly Twitter) for the same. Complimenting the track to honor Juice WRLD's legacy, given the rapper passed away in 2019, an X user tweeted:
"Thank you for honoring his legacy Queen🕊️🛸 Another instant classic 🔥🔂🔟"
"I love it @NICKIMINAJ on my 4th listen" an X user stated
"I love the song so much. You never disappoint. I’m also a ghetto barb, a rapnika stan. I’ll also be waiting for the final PF 2- the hiatus" another X user mentioned
"WE ARE SO BACK" an internet user said
"This song is EVERYTHING! WE NEEDED THIS! F*ck what anyone say! RIP TO JUICE💙🕊️" another internet user commented
While some netizens complimented how Minaj didn't overpower Juice WRLD's vocals, some also expressed that the rapper should release songs apart from the melodic rap genre:
"A GREAT BALANCE, I love how you didn't try to over sing him and just flow'd w/ him ughhh im in LOVEEE." an X user tweeted
"Nicki great song, but I want rap Nicki you gave me enough melodic rap. It was a reason why people really love the beef with Kendrick Lamar and Drake because it got back to real rap. And I don’t want melodic I want just rap it on a bad beat" another X user expressed
"Do you guys think I should put the Juice World song on the deluxe?": Nicki Minaj asked fans while previewing tracks from new album
As per HipHopDX dated August 21, 2024, Nicki Minaj took to Instagram Live on August 20, 2024, to preview collaborations with the late Juice WRLD and Drake in the deluxe version of her album Pink Friday 2 called Pink Friday 2: Gag City Reloaded. While Minaj played an unheard verse she recorded for Camila Cabello's Hot Uptown with Drake, the rapper also previewed her leaked song with Juice WLRD.
Asking fans if she should make her track with Juice WLRD a part of her album's deluxe edition, Nicki Minaj said:
“So, the question is do you guys think I should put the Juice World song on the deluxe? It would be incredible for me I think to have Juice WRLD on this album."
She continued:
"Because before he passed, that’s what we were talking about. He recorded a bunch of stuff when he was in my studio but I don’t like to exploit people and people’s deaths and stuff like that.”
According to Sinusoidal dated August 21, 2024, Minaj was hesitant to include her unreleased collaborations with Juice WRLD in her new album, however, she changed her mind after the late rapper's team reached out to her.
However, in September 2024, Nicki Minaj announced that she was scrapping Pink Friday 2: Gag City Reloaded and was going to release Pink Friday 3 instead. She cited that she wanted Pink Friday 2 to be a separate and complete body of work and that adding more tracks to the album felt sloppy.
The late Juice WRLD co-headlined the Nicki World Tour with Minaj in 2019. Additionally, Young Thug's 2023 track Money featured Nicki Minaj and a posthumous verse by Juice WRLD.
